Scrappy Scrap Update! :)

1. Finishing my internship

I worked all summer as the marketing intern at a cute little shopping center called Gardner Village. It really was a blast. I enjoyed everything about it except for the hour-long drive during rush hour traffic there and back. It really took a toll on our gas budget and made it hard for me to ever cook dinner. If I did cook, we ate at about 8. I love LOVE being a housewife, but I’m so busy a lot of the time that I don’t make a very good one. I was set to finish my internship on the 31st of July, but when I went in on the 28th, my boss surprised me with my check and a super cute mail organizer. I submitted my portfolio and took this picture on the drive home. When I told Cameron that I never had to make that drive again, he scooped me up and kissed me good. :) That Saturday he promised me we could celebrate. We did a session at the temple and set off to find a restaurant for dinner. Sushi is my favorite food ever, but it is very expensive. Cam spoiled me rotten by letting us go to The Happy Sumo for some yummy sushi rolls & edamame. He loved it too, which is lucky for me! He didn’t even complain about the $50 cost of it all and made sure I ordered exactly what I wanted. We wandered through Borders so we could make some room for dessert. Cam let me pick this too, and we grabbed a couple frapps at Starbucks. The night had “Kristin” written all over it. I am so lucky to have a husband who makes me feel so special. There are very few things in this world that make me smile like that. Cameron is one of them.

2. 4th of July

Wayne, Adrienne & Amberlee came up for the 4th of July this year. We had a barbecue for dinner out at their campsite. When the grill was hot and ready for the burgers, we realized we had forgotten the patties! Adrienne, Amber and I drove to Wal-mart to pick up our favorite burgers, ate super quick, and headed off to the Stadium of Fire.

3. Yay :)

4. Flowers 4 Grandpa

Grandpa Frost passed away after a long battle with a variety of illnesses. He grew up in Kanab, so my Grandma asked me and Cam to pick up some sagebrush on our way home, to be used in some of the flower arrangements. We stopped in Kanab and asked a few people if they knew what sagebrush looked like. As it turns out, it’s everywhere up there! We were honored to be able to bring a little bit of comfort to my Grandma and some flowers for Grandpa.

5. At the Hot Spring

on June 12th, we hiked the hot springs with Cameron Crockett and his fiancee Tyne. The water was beautiful and felt great after a long day. This was part of our fake second honeymoon, where we just disappeared for the weekend. Sometimes I really love not being “find-able.”

Okay- you guys are so in love, it's wonderful! I really like that you put your scrapbook pages up here!! So, I've come to you with a question... can you PLEASE help me? We got CS4 and I have no idea how to use it how I want to. All I want to do for now add really cool color effects to pictures. Can you help me get started?? Do I need to download plugins? Do you have any recommendations? I really want to find some tools to help me give some urban/grunge/vintage/etc. looks to my photos. Help!! If you have advice or links, recommendations, etc. for how to help me out then please email me! I'm working on some fun stuff for a present for Allen and I'm completely stuck. Yikes! My email is lorifrost1@gmail.com. Thank you, thank you!!

And PS- I realized that you're not in my links on my blog, so I'm fixing this ASAP so I can stay updated on the latest. :)

Kristin, we've not met yet. I am Cameron's cousin on the Call side. I got a kick out of getting learn about you guys through this blog.

If sushi is your favorite food and you guys live in UT county, then I've got a place you've gotta try next time you are up for a splurge. It is the Sushi House in American Fork. The address is 705 S 500 E American Fork, UT 84003. It is kind of a hole in the wall place just off the freeway, but the sushi is scrumptious and it is all you can eat! So bring your appetite :)
